I'm fine with it I just don't understand why go public with it Religion should be private and personal I heard a story that Ike as President picked a church to attend The church made it public and Ike told that church that he changed his mind because they did not respect his privacy Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

All over the Moslem world it seems religion is extremely public: people carry round tablets and beat their foreheads against them during prayers so they bear scars indicating how pious they are. Laws often forbid business in hours of prayer or forbid food sales during Ramadan days. Loudspeakers call the faithful to prayer. I think she just never got over her career killing stunt and still wants publicity. |

I remember that book. 2 cents to anyone who can remember the basic premise. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Most people feel some version of I'm Ok/You're not OK, or the opposite. Supposedly the best state of mind is the title of the book. My feeling is, I'm OK/I don't care what you are. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

No men are OK around women. It's not possible, you never know what's going on in their heads. With men you know where you're at. With women you never know, even when you're married to them. David Spade has had a lot of beautiful girlfriends. He says the secret is to never get emotionally involved with them, keep them at arms length. Don't just act like you don't care what they thunk, really not care. This apparently drives women nuts and makes you more appealing to them. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I never read it. An enormously popular (7-million copies sold) and insightful classic of popular psychology ... based on Eric Berne’s theory of Transactional Analysis that has helped millions of people who never before felt OK about themselves find the freedom to change, to liberate their ADULT effectiveness, and to achieve joyful intimacy with the people in their lives. Transactional analysis delineates three ego-states (parent, adult and child) as the basis for the content and quality of interpersonal communication. “Happy childhood” notwithstanding, says Harris, most of us are living out the not ok feelings of a defenseless child wholly dependent on ok others (parents) for stroking and caring. At some stage early in our lives we adopt a “position” about ourselves which very significantly determines how we feel about ourselves, particularly in relation to other people. And for a huge portion of the population, that position is that I’m Not OK-You’re OK. This negative Life Position, shared by successful and unsuccessful people alike, contaminates our rational adult potential, leaving us vulnerable to the inappropriate, emotional reactions of our child and the uncritically learned behavior programmed into our parent. By exploring the four basic “life positions,” we can radically change our lives. |

Perhaps humans were meant to live apart such as herds that only mingle during rutting season Or perhaps like elephants were females and offspring travel together and bulls go along for protection but the females do not allow bulls to get too close. some women lead lives of 'I don't ask him how he makes his money; he doesn't ask me how I spend it'. some women are only married at night when they are in bed. some couples are partners 24 hours a day; in life, in business, in everything. I have no idea what Sinead O'Connor's views on this matter are. |
